Imagining Cool School

By Joey Ayala, slightly revised from a 2010 writing project called “Cool Book”
In the light of Climate Change, what would Cool School be like?
First of all we need to see formal education and schooling as a deliberate attempt at
culture-building. This may be a paradigm-shift challenge for educators to successfully
parallel the political, scientific, and economic efforts to cool the planet.

People have to envision and/or imagine what they need and want – through some form
of introspection and contemplation – so that they can imagine what they need to do to
attain what they envision.
People need to articulate both what they envision and the steps that are to be taken
towards success so that they might join forces with like-visioned people and attain
success with greater efficiency and benefit. People need to convince those with other
ideas that it is possible to work together, at least on some overlapping areas of interest
such as health, education and life-supporting resources.
